Cognitive dissonance? “The Newcastle-based environmental researcher, who was heading to the capital for a job interview…” thesun.co.uk/news/27258792/…
Pleased to see this work published. It shows the need to address differences within populations when designing evacuation strategies. nature.com/articles/s4422…
Emergency Response is a vital part of flood resilience. Careful preparation for emergencies is vital and is a truly inter-disciplinary challenge. I’m guest editing a special issue on this for Disaster Prevention and Resilience. Details here: oaepublish.com/specials/dpr.1…
One of those days where the personal clashes with the professional. Forest 2 Villa 0. google.com/gasearch?q=Not…
@RestIsPolitics What’s Alastair’s and Rory’s perspective on this article? news.sky.com/story/the-uk-i… I had thought it would be blaming New Labour directly for Johnson, but it’s a bit more nuanced!
Who’d have guessed, artificially constructed assumptions such as Gen X, Gen Z, boomers, create conflict? Probably also not good when age is a protected characteristic. Not sure switching to terms “perennial” and “post-generational“ helps though. on.ft.com/44ra8q3
Little to argue with in this. Nationalisation is a red herring. The real issue is how to fix the lack of regulation that has allowed for debt to pay dividends. Lessons from the Thames Water debacle via @FT on.ft.com/3r8wa2C
Pleased to see the first papers published on Water in the Cambridge Prisms Series. The focus on novel, but also practical solutions is particularly interesting. sci.scientific-direct.net/view_online.as…
Russell Group ‘nervous’ over downgrading of outputs for REF 2028 Elite universities harbour doubts about shift away from rewarding proven research excellence, says Manchester vice-president, writes Jack Grove @jgro_the bit.ly/3Xly1xa
As minister @RHDijkgraaf is a theoretical physicist does he publish 2/3 of his research in Dutch? I’ve worked in NL, main challenge learning Dutch is finding someone who has the patience to listen to bad Dutch when their English is much better. theguardian.com/education/2023…
I do enjoy the FT: “…an ignominious coda to Johnson’s premiership” rather than “Gotcha!”
@bphillipsonMP must be doing a good job! “With the greatest respect…” was a phrase I didn’t encounter until I joined academia. It was usually the precursor for some very disrespectful comments. theguardian.com/politics/2023/…
Great to have worked on this research with colleagues at @UniversityLeeds and @YorkshireWater sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
Catch the newly published article on #CPWater: ‘The Price and Value of Water: An Economic Review’ . To find out more, visit @CambridgePrisms series.
Pleased to be working with @CambridgePrisms: Water, a new journal aimed at presenting water research across disciplines including a focus on translation into effective implementation. #water #cleanwater
Can @wonkhe keep a tally of which HEIs are still members of @CBItweets ?
Following serious allegations made against the Confederation of British Industry, we have written to the CBI President to confirm we have suspended our membership with immediate effect. (1/3)
Bit late to ask what’s going on. The “elite” have used their privilege to decimate recruitment in the rest of the sector. Couldn’t HEPI get a broader perspective? The Humanities in the UK Today: What’s Going On? hepi.ac.uk/2023/03/30/the… via @HEPI_news
